Harvey Barnes set to hand Leicester fitness boost ahead of new Premier League campaign by completing full pre-season... after missing final three months of action with knee injury which required TWO operations

Harvey Barnes is poised to deliver a boost to Leicester by returning to action in time to complete a full pre-season.

The winger missed the last three months of the campaign with a knee problem that required surgery, and then underwent a second operation that ruled him out of the FA Cup final win over Chelsea.

But Barnes, who would have been a strong contender for a place in England's Euro 2020 squad had he stayed fit, is now well on the road to recovery and hopes to be available when Leicester meet in early July to start preparations for the 2021-22 campaign.
